Do YOU know that the swarming of the
bees is diviGely directed? The mother
bee starts for new home and because Of
this the other bees Of the hive get into an
excitement which raises the heat Of the
hive some four degrees, and they must
die unless they leave their heated apart
ments, and they follow the mother bee

cling to each other and hold on until
